Picked up old jars and pots from the village to grow flowers, and netizens are guessing whether they're antiques or chamber pots

Flowers & Gardening 0 views
In the ancient Huizhou area, there really are quite a lot of these old worn-out things. Could they be antiques worth big money? City folks pick up flower pots, but we villagers have no pots to pick up, only all kinds of storage or pickled vegetable jars. The one in the middle was dug up from the riverbed. Could it be a wine jar, or...?

These past few years it looks like it has some age to it

Some rural jars and pots, and they've drawn so many flower lovers to look. Excited and happy

A group with spouts

Pair it with a bust of a Bodhisattva, two or three branches, and plenty of moss, and you've got a proper zen vibe.

The ones with handles

The relatively large ones

Plant those jars with old succulent stems! Absolutely stunning!

The small ones

There are quite a few, too lazy to sort them

Some say one of these is a chamber pot. My feeling: water pot or chamber pot, as long as it's good for growing flowers, why care?

The vessels are so rich in variety, but together they actually look quite artistic.

Picked up so many that my parents think this kid's brain is broken

So many jars and pots, and a few antiques might turn up among them! Hehe, the garden is really made to look quaint and beautiful

Planted water lilies

Hydroponic spider plant

Guess

The style is very natural and quaint

They're all good stuff. Pick up more and you could sell them... The one dug up from the riverbed, get it appraised quickly, it might just be an antique! Villagers really know how to have fun!

I remember seeing a story before, about a gentleman in Guangzhou who drilled a hole in the bottom of a porcelain piece that had been sitting idle at home for years, repurposed it, and planted flowers in it. Years later, while watching an antiques appraisal show, he found that someone else's huge precious blue-and-white porcelain was not even as beautiful as his flower pot. He took it to an expert, and oh my goodness! It was actually a fine piece among Yuan blue-and-white porcelain. The pity was that there was a hole in the bottom, so its condition was damaged.

Hahaha, hurry and take a look at your flower pots!
